1st Semester

We have made it to the end of the semester, and I don't think my kids have learned half of what I wanted them to - they know what a literacy rate is, but can't imagine how it impacts their future. Paul Burka's editorial in the new Texas Monthly hits the nail on the head - if we don't/can't/won't reach the at-risk, low income, marginalized kids then this state doesn't stand a chance of having a great future. We'll end up no better off than Sierra Leone.
